Successful artists blog

Many artists I know that sell art online also have a blog. If you want to sell more art then maybe you should too.

So what is bloggging in a nutshell?
Blogging is basically a web-based diary or journal.

So why should artists have a blog?
Blogging is a very simple, fast method of getting your work online in a format that people can easily see. An excellent example of this is Jon Burgerman. Jon puts a huge amount of work onto his site. In doing this I believe he acheives the following:

He provides a “community” feel by allowing site visitors to post feedback to his journal entries.

He has an archive of work that you can browse through to get to really understand his style and how it has developed.

He is able to get people to subscribe to his site. This means he can effectively keep in contact with ‘fans’.

He also has a shop attached to the site enabling people that like his work to purchase it directly.
